Latest Action · September 20, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
This joint resolution seeks to reject and nullify a rule issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on April 19, 2024, that implements the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. The resolution uses a congressional disapproval process under federal law that allows Congress to overturn federal agency regulations. If passed, the rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect, effectively blocking the EEOC's implementation guidance for the pregnancy fairness law. The resolution was introduced by Representative Mary Miller of Illinois and several other House members and was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce for consideration. No specific funding or timeline is mentioned in the resolution.
